Hair fibre evidence
Measured inside the hair fibre
LF-NMR analysis indicates increased proton content and mobility within the hair fibre, supporting a more moisturized, nourished and flexible fibre.
Total proton content vs. control (LF-NMR)
+14%
Total proton content in the hair fibre rises by 14% with OKOUVIA, versus 6.3% for the control.
Proton mobility vs. control (LF-NMR)
4 → 24 ms
ControlOKOUVIA
Increased proton mobility observed by LF-NMR, associated with changes in hair fibre flexibility.
OKOUVIA is evaluated in a leave-in hair serum to confirm its stability and performance in a finished formula.
